The Second Edition with Considerable Additions, in Relation to the Kingdom of Christ (London: Printed for and Sold by William Marshal at the Bible in Newgate-Street, and also by John Marshal at the Bible in Grace-Church-Street, 1696). P. 18 (leaf n21), from “I hence by express Letter of Scripture” to “Rev. 12. 1.” (Internet Archive bim_early-english-books-1641-1700_the-catechism-of-the-kin_beverley-thomas_1696; title page n0). The title page does not print the author’s name (a manuscript note on this copy adds “By Thomas Beverly”); the “Catalogue of Late Books By That Reverend Divine Mr. Thomas Beverly” printed at the end of the volume (leaves n24–n27) lists the Catechism and its second edition. A pen stroke after “437,” is left out. Long s (ſ) rendered s; ligatures expanded; roman and italic type not distinguished; line-end hyphenation joined; spacing normalized (one space after punctuation, paragraph breaks as blank lines); running heads, catchwords, signatures and marginal notes omitted; spelling, capitalization and punctuation otherwise as printed; omissions inside the selection marked […].
